I am sure you got one of the original bumpers...the other thing to try is the 3 screws on each side, tighten them and then back them off half a turn, it lets things flex more. Also, when purchasing a new one, find one of the updated units...i have posted pics on here a number of times with the updates.
Either way, taking the bumper off means the rear hinge pins are set loose and that's a pain if that's not what you wanted to work on. The bumper should have been designed to be removed without affecting the suspension so you can work on the car without removing those lower screws and then having to replace them in order to work on the rear end and have access to eveything you need.

in an answer to my own question of pounds and force on a chassis. at 35 mph at 7 pounds hitting a jump crashing regardless of gravity it hits at a force of 64.48980815347721 Pounds. unless a turn marshal that falls on it. your never going to get to 160 pounds of force unless you hit a wall at 134 mph.. ( just a little information for someone standing on your toy )

Awesome, I love it when the Factory workers Decide its Not the Day to Include ALL the parts needed for my Kit.
I've been running it a Few weeks now with Stock Grease diffs and was dealing with the Ooozing of Grease from the Out drives till i had some actual run time on it. Well Turns out the reason for the Floppy Front Out drive would be, No Flippin bearing.
Thanks for the partially Blown front R+P and Front Diff case Losi.
Is it really that much to ask for a roller that actually Rolls.

Well, to this I have to say...its more likely that they forgot to fully tighten the setscrew holding one of the pins...although i have seen them work their way loose after a while. And you could contact Losi customer service and I am sure they would take care of you.

when will people understand that RTR doesn't mean you throw a battery in it and start thrashing. you should still go through the truck and make sure everything is in working order and lined up, screws tightened, make sure screws that go into metal (motor mount from bottom and top) are locktighted, etc.
thanks amigo. just picked up two more. did you ever get yours?

If for some reason I don't get a losi 4x4 what is another 4x4 that is pretty well complete and recommended by you losi guys?
Is the losi mm or inches thinking screw wise

SC10 4x4: not easy to work on, slipper pads wear out, belt drive.
slash 4x4: just not really a race platform
durango: parts difficult to come by, durability isn't great, have to run saddle packs.
hyper/nexx: honestly don't know too much about these as nobody runs them around here. i have read that some of the durability issues that the early versions had have been addressed with the nexx.
it's not like 2wd SC where you can choose between kyosho, associated, losi, and maybe hpi, and be ok. the overall competitiveness and durability between all of the 2wd's is much closer than 4wd IMO. no losi fanboi here either. i have: B4, SC10, RC8Be, slash 4x4 and my SCTE.
to answer your question, the SCTE uses standard hardware (not metric).

I have the diff removed and when turning the outdrives it spins smoothly. Still haven't taken apart the diff but on my last diff fluid change all the gears looked fine. Do I need to shim the gears closer?
